Safety, trust & environment

I have a 32 x 32 fenced in play area that is secured for even the smallest of dogs. I also have crates in a variety of sizes for dogs who are used to a crate, a few different sizes of portable fences to separate them from larger dogs if necessary. I can also provide separate spaces within my home for small to medium sized dogs if needed. I am hyper vigilant and never leave any dog outside alone.

Information Roxanne B. would like to know about your pet

How they do on leash, how they do with other dogs (I believe in slow intros. I will never let unfamiliar dogs go nose to nose right away. After having so many different dogs around, I have had a lot of different personalities. I can tell pretty quickly if it would be unsafe for your dog to be around mine). Basic understanding of their routine.

A typical day

We have a very dog friendly outdoor space. Our back door leads out to our spacious shaded deck that has 4 steps directly into the play yard. We love to be outside when the weather is appropriate. We love to play ball and fetch. If it’s nice out and your dog likes water we have a baby pool they can splash around in. We also have an acre and a half, mostly shaded property to go out roaming around if your dog is good on leash. For safety reasons I will not walk dogs on the road by my house. We will meet your dog where they are at, whether they’re a couch potato or enjoy playtime.

Pet care experience

I have had pets my entire life. I currently have 2 dogs, Levi 10 and Loki 1. Also 1 cat Kelce 3. We now have 2 fur babies at the rainbow 🌈 bridge💔 Oso and Macy. For the last 8 years I have been a puppy foster parent, having fostered 100+puppies of all breeds ranging in age from 5 weeks to 1 year. I have experience in appropriate socializing, potty training, crate training, leash walking and giving medications both orally and injected. I have also fostered puppies with minor to moderate medical issues. I have a good amount of experience in overnighting. I have more references available than what is listed on Rover.

Roxanne has been great! Our dog is a rescue and has stranger anxiety, which is stressful for the dog and for us when we need someone to take care of her. Roxanne understands the behavior and manages it well. She is reliable and gives prompt updates and we are very comfortable with her taking care of our dog. Very highly recommend!

Gracie LOVED Roxanne! This was the first time using her and there was no meet & greet due to a family emergency. We have security cameras in our house and when Roxanne dropped Gracie off after her second walk, Gracie whined for her for almost 15 minutes by the back door. I’m contemplating hiring her once a week for a quick walk so Gracie can see her new best friend. I highly recommend!

Roxanne has been an amazing dog foster and friend! She is so caring and dependable, with great communication skills. She's been very patient with all of our new dogs and pups, and I know I can fully trust her to love and care for our precious and vulnerable rescues. I highly recommend entrusting Roxanne with your beloved pets!

You can 110% trust your pets in my mom's care. She has several years of experience fostering animals from playful puppies to mature adults. Her genuine love and dedication to animals is evident in the way she cares for her foster pets as well as her own, ensuring they receive the utmost care and attention. My mom is a passionate advocate for animal health and welfare, always striving to provide the best care possible. She treats every animal in her care as if they were her own, creating a loving and nurturing environment that puts both pets and their owners at ease. Her extensive experience and deep understanding of animal needs make her an outstanding candidate! I recommend my mom to anyone who is in need of a pet caregiver. Her compassion, expertise, and unwavering commitment to animal well-being make her the perfect choice for anyone seeking reliable and loving care for their pets.
